SPACE THE NEW WAY OF WORKING Pain Points Owls may not anticipate the affect the personal and emotional transition will have on them. They may take a few weeks to adjust (and be shy to admit it) so allow them space to adjust. Don’t push new projects too hard or fault them for oversights that are out of character.
Opportunity They are excited for the opportunity for heightened productivity and transparency in the company overall. They know they will thrive in the new work environment and their years of hard work will be more visible and greatly appreciated.
VALUE OF THE OWL Owls are incredibly productive and lead by example. They are self disciplined and well organized.

CULTURE - Collaboration Bees do a little bit of everything and are task-oriented. They do a balance of heads down work and department collaboration. Their duties change according to projects and level of collaboration changes along with their tasks.
Characteristics Broad job descriptions
Bees will be more nervous about the change than most empolyees. They thrive in the current work environment so are slower to embrace change. Why fix what’s not broken? They would benefit the most from collaborative technology, but prefer to email or drop by to chat.

They see success at the end of their to-do list. They are “work to live” people and have hobbies and side projects that keep them balanced and motivated through their work day.

SPACE THE NEW WAY OF WORKING Pain Points Bees will be resistant to change at first. But their success will mean the success of the company overall in the new way of working. They will benefit from the work/life balance and mobile lifestyle more than anyone else, but are nervous about the day-to-day details that will disrupt their habits. We need to anticipate their needs and concerns more than other early adopters and facilitate a slower and more transitional shift in communications. Using their mode of communications to deliver long and complicated details will be beneficial to everyone.
Opportunity They may not know it yet. but they will be excited by the longterm freedom the new way of working allows them. They will be able to more easily pursue new opportunities that align with their hobbies and personal projects.
VALUE OF THE BEE Bees are the indicator of a successful transition. When these employees embrace the change (albeit, in their own time) they will feel empowered and have the ability to drive the company forward.
